Notes :
(1) Route confirmation required. Mike Morant comments:
I honestly can't recall the exact
details of the early part of this trip but I was amongst the group that picked
it up at East Croydon and I think the loco used from there to Olympia was 31874
after which a Marsh H2 took over but which H2 it was I can't recall as I'm
pretty sure that two trains did that trip as there were definitely 2 x H2's at
Bourne End at one point. Henry Allum however suggests 32425 worked train
throughout to/from the Crystal Palace and Bourne End.
